Installing a Oracle environment (Dataguard, Oracle Restart) using Ansible (and patching as well!)

Hi!

I’ve been playing around with Oracle Database environments for a while – and during my vacation I needed a environment to do some testing of different failover settings for clients. So I spent some time using codex to build a small repo with ansible playbooks, and scripts to roll out a functional Dataguard environment along with a broker to help me roll out a test environment, and also to help me test out some patching ideas I’ve had for a while.

The repo is here if you are interested 😉

I’ve yet to test the patching functionality – but when I come home from my trip I’ll do more testing in the lab and finish it.
